1. General Notes
------------------------------------------
This driver is used for connecting the digital camera to your computer with
the supplied USB cable.
The digital camera purchased uses Mass Storage Class USB, so that when the
digital camera is connected to the computer with the supplied USB cable, a new
drive number is assigned in "My Computer" in which the memory card (CF card)
in the digital camera is shown as a removable medium. Images stored in the
digital camera can be opened, copied and moved to the computer easily using
application software in the same way as for other removable media.

3. Installing/Uninstalling the USB driver
------------------------------------------
- Installing the USB driver and connecting the digital camera
The USB driver contained on the CD-ROM must be installed to connect the camera
using a USB connection. Install the USB driver as follows.
When installing or uninstalling the USB driver with Windows 2000, log in as
Administrator.
- Installation notes
Do not connect the digital camera to a computer before installing the USB
driver (before inserting the CD-ROM). If the digital camera is connected to a
computer before installing the driver, the Plug & Play function may register
it as an unidentified device.
If it becomes registered as an unidentified device, see "4. FAQ about USB"
below.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

with the USB cable and switch on the camera.
A dialog indicating [Add New Hardware...] appears and automatically
recognizes the memory card in the digital camera as a drive. The system will
recognize the memory card in the digital camera as a drive whenever the
digital camera is subsequently connected to the computer.
o Attach the USB connectors in the correct direction. Insert the connector in
fully.
o The USB cable does not supply power to the camera. Use the AC adapter
specified for the camera.

4. FAQ about USB
------------------------------------------
The following questions and answers include some of the inquiries most
frequently received from customers.
- Functions
Q1:
What can you do with USB cables?
A1:
o With a USB-compatible digital camera as a removable disk drive, data can be
transferred in either direction between the computer and camera.
o Images recorded with USB-compatible digital cameras can be loaded
automatically or manually.
- Troubleshooting
Q2:
I cannot install the USB driver onto a computer with Windows 98 installed. I
tried connecting the digital camera to the computer with the supplied USB
cable for the second time, but this time "Add New Hardware Wizard" did not
start.
A2:
If the incorrect location was specified for searching, the "Failed to install
a USB driver" message appears on the screen. If you click [Finish] here, the
device may be registered as an "unidentified device" or a completely different
driver may be installed. In this case, "Add New Hardware Wizard" may not
launch even when the digital camera is connected to the computer via the USB
cable. If the installation process fails or is cancelled midway, do not click
the [Finish] button, but click the [Cancel] button. If the "Add New Hardware
Wizard" message does not appear after connecting the digital camera to the
computer, reinstall the driver after deleting the "unidentified device"
following the procedure described below.
<Important>
When changing the settings on the computer, always store the original settings
so that they can be restored later if the need arises. If incorrect settings
are entered, the computer may not start properly or programs and drivers may
not operate correctly. Consult the manual provided with the computer before
changing the settings. If you still have questions even after reading the
manual, contact the computer manufacturer.
1) Connect the digital camera to a computer with the supplied USB cable.
2) Switch on the digital camera.
3) Select [Settings] from the Start menu, and click [Control Panel]->
[System] -> [Device Manager]. Select [View divices by type] and delete
[Other Devices] from the list.
4) After deleting the [Other Devices], restart the computer and reinstall
the USB driver.
* If you cannot find the "Other Devices" in the list, move the registry as
follows.
[Here "C" refers to the hard disk drive on the Windows 98 operating
system.]
1) Create a "CASIO" folder in the C:\windows\temp folder.
2) Select the "Regedit.exe" file in C:\windows, click "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
->"Enum"->"USB" and move the "VID_07CF&PID_1001" file in the "USB"
folder to the "CASIO" folder created in step 1).
3) After moving, restart the computer and reinstall the USB driver.
* Procedure to move the "VID_07CF&PID_1001" file to the "CASIO" folder
1) With the "VID_07CF&PID_1001" file highlighted, click [Registry]->[Export
Registry File...] on the menu bar, and specify the "CASIO" folder created
in step 1) above as the location in which to save.
2) Type the name of the file to be saved (for example, "USB"), and click
[Save].
3) Confirm that a new file (for example, "USB.REG") has been added to the
C:\windows\temp\CASIO folder.
4) Delete the "VID_07CF&PID_1001" file in "Regedit.exe".
Q3:
I installed the USB driver correctly, but it does not operate properly, or
when unplugging the USB, an exception error message appears and the USB can no
longer be used.
A3:
If a virus scan program (such as McAfeeVShield, etc.) is resident in the
system, you can try canceling the resident. It may restore the USB operation.
Q4:
I followed each installation instruction step carefully, but I still cannot
install the USB driver.
A4:
For some computers with a dedicated utility or when entering the USB settings
via BIOS, the USB may be set to off or disabled, and consequently the
installation process cannot be started. In this case, changing the USB setting
to on or enabled before installing. Refer to the computer manual, as the
method for confirming and changing the settings in the dedicated utility or
BIOS will vary depending on the computer. If the problem still remains after
reading the manual, contact the computer manufacturer.
Q5:
Other USB devices operate correctly, but the system does not recognize the
CASIO digital camera connected to it with the USB cable.
A5:
Even when all the PC system requirements meet the specifications, other USB
devices operate properly, and there are no apparent problems with the camera,
USB cable or USB driver, the system may not recognize the digital camera due
to incompatibility with the computer chipset in certain rare cases. CASIO
digital cameras are manufactured to be compatible with a wide range of
USB-standard products, and so no adjustments are possible with the camera. If
the computer is equipped with a PC card slot, you may buy a PC card adaptor
(CA-10) and load images directly by inserting the compact flash card into it.
For computers without a PC card slot, use CF Card readers.
Q6:
The USB no longer operates after upgrading from Windows 98 to Windows Me.
A6:
If the USB does not operate after upgrading from Windows 98 to Windows Me,
reinstall as follows.
1) Switch on the camera, and connect it to the computer with the supplied
USB cable.
2) Click the [Start] button and select [Settings]->[Control Panel]->[System]
->[Device Manager] tab. Select [View devices by type], search for
"Universal Serial Bus controllers" in the list, and delete
"USB-CASIODIGITALCAMERA".
3) Unplug the USB cable from the digital camera terminal.
4) The USB driver is automatically installed when the USB cable is plugged
into the digital camera terminal again.
5) After installation is complete, click the "My Computer" icon to confirm
that there is a "Removable Disk Drive" icon.
